Revisiting Stress Granule Transcriptomes Suggests Mitochondrial RNA Enrichment Despite Methodological Bias

This study reanalyzes SG transcriptomes to show mitochondrial RNA enrichment despite methodological biases in isolation techniques.

YME1L1 is Dispensable for T Lymphocyte Activation Despite its Upregulation and Activity

This study shows YME1L1 is not essential for T cell activation despite its upregulation and role in mitochondrial structure.

Mitochondria at synapse utilize fatty acids as a bioenergetic fuel source

This study shows synaptic mitochondria prefer fatty acids over glucose for energy production, enhancing respiratory flexibility and ATP content in neurons.

Monocyte control of organismal energy homeostasis

This study shows that monocyte-derived macrophages regulate energy homeostasis by responding to iron metabolism dysregulation in parenchyma cells.

Bioenergetic signature of Synaptic mitochondria

The paper identifies a distinct bioenergetic profile of synaptic mitochondria that enables them to adapt to the dynamic energy demands of synaptic transmission.

PINK1-G411S mutant increases kinase stability and enhances mitochondrial-linked functions

This study investigates how the PINK1-G411S mutant affects PINK1 function, showing increased kinase stability and mitochondrial-linked functions through molecular dynamics analysis.

Parl Deficiency In Mouse Causes Coenzyme Q Depletion, Complex III Defects, And Leigh-Like Syndrome

This study shows that Parl deficiency in mice leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, Complex III defects, and Leigh-like syndrome, highlighting its critical role in neurological health.
